Ask around or search online to find what green open spaces and facilities are available to you! Once you’ve narrowed down the list, arrange a day and time to go out “into the wild” with your residents. As you arrange your outing, here are a few things to keep in mind… Guide or No...

Can’t we all just get along? Speed friending is sweeping the nation. We’ve all heard of speed dating and its benefits: speed-friending is no different. People want to make new friends, but it’s hard to figure out how to go about it. With speed friending, residents can pursue the goal without appearing desperate.

If you're like most communities, you don't allow resident pets in the hot tub or pool. This is for obvious safety and sanitation reasons. However, to make your canine friends feel welcome, plan a puppy play date at the pool on the last day before the pool area closes for the year! During the dog days of summer, a doggie swim day is a perfect event to hold in your swimming pool right before you close it down and drain the pool for cleaning. Dog day at the pool is the one time of year when your community’s dogs are welcome to dog paddle, fetch, and play in the pool! Building a Pup Friendly Pool Party Towels Buy some big fluffy beach towels and spread them around on the ground in a few shaded areas near the pool. Dogs will...

Giant Jenga Giant Jenga is just as fun as the original, but bigger! Use two-by-fours to create the giant Jenga logs. Sand them down and paint them in bright colors of your choice! Find a flat surface to play on in your community and give it a go! You can also find additional Giant Jenga game assembly (and play) instructions here. Giant Kerplunk Have residents show off their strategy skills with this quick-play game! ...
